Effects of TGFBI on the growth of tumor cells in vitro . (A) Growth curves of TGFBI-transfected mesothelioma cells (T2804, T2806, and T2807), vector control cells (V2801), and parental mesothelioma NCI-H28 cells. (B) Growth curves of TGFBI-transfected breast cancer cells (T23108, T23109, and T23113), vector control cells (V23101), and parental breast tumor MDA-MB-231 cells. Data are generated from three independent experiments and error bars represent mean ± SD. (C) Relative plating efficiencies (PE) of TGFBI expression and vector control cells to parental cells, each in triplicate (error bars; mean ± SD). (D) Number of colonies expressing TGFBI or vector control relative to parental cells, each in triplicate (error bars; mean ± SD). * # indicates significant decreases relative to vector control cells (*, P < 0.01; #, P < 0.05).
